my lord, please eat

At the end of October, the new magistrate who came to take office finally arrived in Longyu.By this time, the autumn rice replanted by the victims had already grown well.

Xing Yihong didn't have much to explain.And none of the magistrates had the guts to ask the prince to explain things to him.However, Xing Yihong had put those things away in the study, and the new county magistrate only needed to read them carefully to understand everything about the disaster.

When the county magistrate took office, he brought a housekeeper, a master, and eight catchers. Basically, he brought all of them except for the assistant.Although it is rare to even bring these policemen, but this time it is indeed a special situation.This person was the second in the list the year before last, not only outstanding in writing, but also sensitive enough in mind.Moreover, the 25-year-old is honest and good-natured, not the nostalgic thoughts of those old courtiers, and is highly valued by the emperor.This time he was sent here, not only to let him take care of this place that had suffered from natural and man-made disasters, but also to let him be recalled to the capital for reuse after five years of training.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xing Yihong.When people come, they plan to leave.As for when Zuo Zhuang and his hidden guards will return to the capital, that is their business.Of course, the prince felt that he was very happy to see this group of guys who were so forgetful and serious that they rarely laughed when they heard that they were going to leave, and each of them showed the "death" mood of "no longer eating the princess's craftsmanship".Who let me have such an outstanding little princess!There is really no way not to make people jealous! (dirt!)

Xing Yihong left with Gong Xiaoyong after the magistrate moved into the county government office.He walked really quietly and didn't disturb anyone.Because the carriage had already been thrown away, the two of them just found a horse to ride on.Xing Yihong asked An Qi to go back to Beijing first, and hand over some of the documents and materials he had sorted out to the emperor.The prince wanted to take his princess for a stroll back.Maybe along the way, there are some new discoveries.Certainly not all the officials implicated in the previous raids.

He supported the emperor's brother to take the opportunity to eliminate those corrupt officials.But he is also very clear that throughout the dynasties, even countries with different time and space from them will not eliminate such things.There is still a big difference between using a trustworthy person and an untrustworthy person.Being a human being is the same as being an official, and you must never push yourself too far, otherwise it will be a precursor to self-destruction.

"Yihong, are we going back the same way?" The two of them rode together. At this moment, Gong Xiaoyong no longer felt any embarrassment about being held in Xing Yihong's arms.On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling.It shows that this guy is his own!I heard that my prince is very popular!

Xing Yihong replied: "Take a detour, so that you can go shopping more. You just need to go back a year ago."

The corner of Gong Xiaoyong's mouth twitched: "Years ago... There are still two months left, okay. Can you find the place I asked for earlier?"

Xing Yihong shook his head: "Don't worry about those things. It's good to let you see the customs of our Daheng this time. In addition, I also want to take you for a walk. There are those in my own business. Although it is not complete, you still need to know something. "

"Okay! I really don't know what kind of business you have. Those ledgers looked like heavenly books before, and I wanted to sleep after turning two pages. It's better to look at physical stores. Although I'm sure I remember everything except restaurants. I can’t help but live a temporary eye addiction. By the way, my second brother and I have discussed it before. When we find a suitable place in the future, we will jointly open a medicinal food shop. At that time, we will steal your business~ !" Gong Xiaoyong couldn't help laughing when he thought of Mo Xingyun's excited and longing face when he and Mo Xingyun were discussing this matter.In fact, although Mo Xingyun loves the emperor very much, he also has things he wants to do.It's just that I don't know how the emperor will feel after knowing this matter.

Xing Yihong smiled: "In my opinion, you can only open two places for this business. There must be one shop in the capital, and the other one is where we settled down. Your medicinal diet is definitely not an ordinary meal sold to ordinary people. Customers The candidates are naturally wealthy merchants and even officials’ homes. Our only restaurant is Shun Xin Lou, which mainly sells ordinary dishes, so how could you steal my husband’s business~!”

Gong Xiaoyong pursed her lips: "Hey! Why is your sense of humor gone now?! I won't talk nonsense with you. Let's go quickly. I don't want to sleep in the mountains by taking such a remote road!"

Two people and one horse are much lighter than driving a carriage.Basically, you can go wherever you want, but you can't really just sleep in the wild.

But the places they chose to settle in these days are not big places.To Gong Xiaoyong, these villages and towns all had a fresh feeling like visiting a film and television city.This feeling was very different from the places he was familiar with.Compared with the palace and palace, the plants and trees outside are lively and lively.Not to mention that the imperial palace and palace are lifeless, but there is always a sense of majesty suppressed.It's just that Gong Xiaoyong felt that in the palace, his perception of this oppressive feeling was very low, but it was not without it.

"Yihong, this county looks quite wealthy!" Looking at the bustling street scene, Gong Xiaoyong whispered to the prince who was leading the horse beside him while looking around.

"Huanqi County is indeed a good place. It is the largest medicinal material trading place in the southeast. There is very little cultivated land here, and most of them are merchants and shopkeepers." Xing Yihong explained.

Gong Xiaoyong was curious: "Then is there any business for you here?"

Xing Yihong nodded: "Shun Xin Building is doing a great job here, and there is also a herbal medicine store, which just buys medicinal materials, and then transports them back to the capital and sells them in other places."

Gong Xiaoyong nodded: "It's a second-hand dealer! But it should be very profitable, right?"

Xing Yihong smiled and said: "Money is easy to make, but the most important thing in the business of medicinal materials is conscience. If the medicinal materials are not good and you buy fake products, then selling them to others is killing people. Therefore, the shopkeeper and shopkeeper of Yi'antang can They are all my trusted friends."

Gong Xiaoyong touched her bare chin: "Then... let's go to Shun Xin Lou for a meal! I've never been there before!"

Although Xing Yihong is the real owner of Shunxinlou, the only people who have really seen him are the shopkeepers of various shops, but in a big restaurant, no matter how he sells the Pingming dishes, the shopkeepers will not come to the hall in person.So those guys have no idea who the two guest officers who came in today are.

Gong Xiaoyong ordered a few dishes, and then looked expectant.

Xing Yihong smiled when he saw it: "Do you want to live here, or find an inn?"

Gong Xiaoyong thought about it for a while: "Isn't there a medicinal material shop? Let's go there. Actually, I really want to learn how to distinguish medicinal materials."

Xing Yihong nodded: "Alright. Although the place over there is small, there are not many people in the small courtyard behind."

When the prince goes out, he never orders food at the high-end banquets of those dandies, but the standard four dishes and one soup.Of course, even if he is alone, this amount is the same.

The lamb shank with fresh peppers was wonderfully done.The fresh red pepper and green pepper juice made with various seasonings are poured on the roasted lamb leg.The mutton is sliced ​​in a moderate thickness, and the slightly savory taste is neutralized by the fresh aroma of the fresh pepper juice. The sugar and vinegar subtly reduce the spicy taste. The whole dish tastes both fragrant and refreshing.The key is that Gong Xiaoyong's price on the price tag is not too high, it can be said to be of high quality and good price.

Gong Xiaoyong likes sliced ​​wild rice stem meat and steamed cabbage heart with preserved vegetables.Especially the steamed choy sum with preserved vegetables, which looks like a pure vegetarian dish, but it can be eaten with a strong aroma of meat.If you see the oil on the plate, it should be oily.However, the portion is just right, which makes the taste of plum vegetables even better.Choi Sum, which is originally bland, has a deeper flavor.In addition, the rice stem meat slices are not unusual, but the meat slices are smooth and tender, and the wild rice stems are crispy.The key is that the slightly fruity seasoning surprised Gong Xiaoyong.

There is also a dish called "Jade Belt" that makes Gong Xiaoyong very curious.The price of this dish is still very cheap.Because he couldn't tell what material it was made of by looking at the name, so he ordered one.Hearing that Xing Yihong said it was a cold dish, he guessed whether it was green Liangpi or something.As a result, when it was served, it turned out to be lettuce slices cut into long strips.The lettuce slices are sliced ​​thin and clear, the color itself is emerald green, with a thin and transparent look, and there is a layer of sesame oil on it, it looks like a jade belt!Although there is no other seasoning, it tastes salty, fresh and slightly sour, but the heat of blanching is just right, and it still has a crisp taste regardless of its thickness, which is very refreshing and smooth.

"This is really beautifully made! But if you add a little rice vinegar and a little pepper oil, the taste will definitely be more prominent. Of course, it is also delicious to eat like this, suitable for people with a light taste!" Gong Xiaoyong ate three in one go Great movie, feels really good.

Xing Yihong took a piece of wild rice stem and put it in Xiaoyong's bowl: "Then let them add a new dish tomorrow."

Yi'antang is not the largest in Xing Yihong's business, but it is one of the shops he values ​​most.

Not only because Yi'antang buys medicinal materials for curing diseases and saving lives, but also because Lu Chengbo himself is a person with excellent medical skills and has very high requirements for medicinal materials.The initial reason for opening this store was also because of Master's request.The shopkeeper and head of Yi'antang would go to Beijing twice a year, in addition to delivering the medicinal materials in person, and reporting the situation of the medicinal materials back then to Xing Yihong.Therefore, the shopkeepers and managers of Yi'antang are also the few people who know the identity of their real bosses.

Seeing Xing Yihong collapsed at the door of the store, Li Gui quickly came up to greet him. If there were not too many people at the door of the store, and there were two people selling medicinal materials in the store, he would have knelt down and kowtowed. "Boss, why are you here in person at this time! Please come inside quickly! Little Sanzi, go and call the shopkeeper. Just say it's the boss who is here!"

Entering the back hall, Xing Yihong introduced Gong Xiaoyong to the owner and shopkeeper of Yi'an Hall, and the two immediately knelt down to kowtow to the princess.This made Gong Xiaoyong embarrassed.He kept tugging at Xing Yihong's sleeve.It's not easy for him to reach out directly. In this place, the distinction between superiority and inferiority is an absolute rule.

Fortunately, Xing Yihong still knew about his little concubine's life experience.So with a wave of his hand, they were spared the gift.It doesn't matter so much trouble if you are not in the palace.

Because of the prosperity here, Gong Xiaoyong wanted to stay for two more days, so the two lived in the small courtyard behind Yi'an Hall.

Behind Yi'an Hall is a three-story courtyard.The east and west courtyards are for people to live in, and the main courtyard in the middle is used to store medicinal materials.Originally, the shopkeeper and the palm eye lived in the same courtyard, but now a courtyard has been vacated for Xing Yihong and Gong Xiaoyong.

After patting the soft bedding, Gong Xiaoyong felt that living here was much more at ease than staying in a hotel a few days ago.Sure enough, I also have the feeling that this is "own property"? !This is not scientific! ! "I'll cook a table tonight, how about having dinner with shopkeeper Wang and Li Zhangyan?"

Xing Yihong rubbed Xiaoyong's head: "Go out and eat. Otherwise, you can ask them to buy it. This place is no better than the mansion, and the superiority and inferiority must be clearly distinguished. Although Wang Anfu is a mature and prudent person, Li Gui is also a dutiful and kind person. But it’s inevitable that other servants are not thinking about it. The opponent’s servants, especially those who are beyond their reach, can’t be too easygoing, let alone show extra closeness.”

Gong Xiaoyong scratched her head: "You mean, are you afraid that the people below will be arrogant? Forget it, let them buy and eat. I've been on my way these few days. Although I'm not in a hurry, I also feel that I'm so tired. Riding a horse is really hard! I always feel cramps in my thighs. It is decisive that a bicycle is more comfortable, and of course a car is more comfortable."

Thinking of the two bicycles in Xiaoyong's space, the prince suddenly had an idea.Is it possible to let those skilled craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry also try to make it according to that principle?I always thought it was kind of interesting.Looking at the movies on the computer, people are riding bicycles, it's quite relaxing!It's not as good as riding a horse for a long distance, but it's still good for a short distance.When you have a chance, you must take it out and ride it around the palace twice!
